Stammzellen-Wien

Welcome to the Stem Cell Therapy Group Vienna


  Stem cells can offer you benefits in health.



Thank you for choosing the SCTGV website for further information on stem cell therapy.

We are fully aware that it is not easy to make a decision to go for stem cell therapy and that's why we offer you an outstanding medical staff working in the finest and best equipped medical hospitals in Vienna, Austria with an international collaboration network of experts in the field of stem cell based research to assist you as much as possible.

We know that a lot of physicians over the world are not familiar with stem cell therapies and as a result of this omission in knowledge they may even discourage you to go for such a new therapy. By the same token, the internet promises cures and wonders, but how true are they and how do you rate all this information in helping you making up your mind?

At the Stem Cell Therapy Group Vienna our team of medical experts will look carefully to your individual request for treatment with stem cells taking into account your medical history, the latest medical research and the broad own experience with this kind of treatment. If we think, based on our experience and on today's literature, that in your individual case the chance of improvements is very low or not likely to happen, we will openly discuss this with you. This and the fact that we do not make compromises in offering you the best medical service is the key factor at Stem Cell Therapy Group Vienna.

In our treatments and therapies we only utilize autologous adult stem cells!

Stem Cells in General

Different layers of cells derived from Bone Marrow
Stem cells are cells needed for building a living creature. Life began with an ovum and a sperm cell. A conceived cell is formed. By multiplication this cell is able to build a complete human being. Out of these rudimentary cells rises a blastocyst, which contains the embryonic stem cells. They are still quite unspecialized and have the ability to divide endlessly and to develop into all of the 220 human cell types.

Autologous Stem Cells

Information session
Autologous and allogeneic stem cells are in principle the same type of cells with the difference, that autologous stem cells are collected from and transplanted into the same patient. If body tissue is damaged, autologous stem cells head towards the damaged area and initiate the process of healing.

Finally, autologous stem cells are crucial in the day-to-day processes of living. Without these cells, a human will die. For example, our red blood cells are replaced by stem cells every 3 months, because they are worn out and not able to transport enough oxygen anymore.

The use of Autologous Adult Stem Cells

The use of Autologous Adult Stem Cells
The treatment with stem cells is not new8. More than 40 years now, stem cells are used to treat certain forms of cancer especially leukemia. The use of autologous (stem cells of your own) adult stem cells is ethical and legally accepted. In Europe, extracted stem cells are seen as advanced medicinal products and companies, processing stem cells for treatment, have to fulfill all kinds of special regulatory requirements, like obtaining a manufacturing license from the National or European Regulatory Agencies9.

Mechanism of Adult Autologous Stem Cells

Mechanism of Adult Autologous Stem Cells
The way stem cells act in the healing process is still unclear. For a long time, it was assumed that stem cells simply replace the damaged cells by new ones10.

Stem Cell Quality

Stem Cell Quality
The quality of Stem Cells is of great importance for treatment20. Aging itself influences the quality of the stem cells and this is important in strategies to treat diseases, which occur particularly at older ages. For example, children have a higher number of stem cells per ml bone marrow than a person of 75 years old.

Indications for Stem Cell Treatment

Indications for Stem Cell Treatment
The spectrum of applications for the use of autologous adult stem cells is wide and includes the use of adult stem cells for rebuilding cartilage in joints, to replace skin and/or bone tissue (keyword: Tissue Engineering) and even regenerate neural and muscle tissue or establish blood supply again. Important to know is the fact that a lot of research is ongoing investigating the potency of stem cells to improve or cure chronic medical conditions.

The use of adult stem cells offers a potential new treatment strategy for previously incurable diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or Multiple Sclerosis, stroke and spinal cord injury.

Embryonic Stem Cells

Embryonic Stem Cells
Embryonic stem cells are the most powerful stem cells, which can differentiate into every kind of cell type needed to build a human and are harvested out of living embryos. Second, embryonic stem cells can be transplanted to everyone without rejection.

Stem cells from cord blood

Stem cells from cord blood
Nowadays, a lot of parents decide to store the cord blood of their newborns in special cell banks. This blood is deep-frozen and can be used to deliver stem cells for the child, for one of the parents, or even for brother or sister of the newborn in the future3.

The advantages of cord blood stem cells are a high potency to differentiate in all kind of tissue cells (pluripotent), a high chance not having the genetic failures responsible for certain diseases and the fact that these cells are well tolerated, because they have the best possible genetic match, if someone doesn't want to use autologous stem cells. Finally, the risk to initiate tumors is less than the risk mentioned for embryonic stem cells.

Allogeneic Stem Cells

Allogeneic Stem Cells
The use of adult stem cells is by no means completely new. Stem cells have been used for the therapy of blood cancer (leukemia) for more than 40 years now. Normally this is done by allogeneic (heterogenic) bone marrow transplantation, i.e. bone marrow taken from a suitable donor. This exchange from bone marrow is not without risk by the bone marrow of a donor to be sure that every leukemia cell is killed.
